February 25 BEING POSITIVE

 


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME ON THE 27th.  
 I am going to be 72.  
I have to be honest and say 70 was not my most 'exciting' birthday.  
That is just plain 'getting old' - but I am grateful anyway. ☺




All you have to do is turn around and see the world differently.




 I love ole Eeyore. Who is your favorite Pooh character? 


The difference between children and adults.
 


Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't go than by the ones you did.  So, throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream, Discover.     Mark Twain  

Seize the day and don't worry about tomorrow.
God has it...

You are right - a positive attitude makes a big difference!
However, I am a fan of Eeyore too. :)
Happy, Happy Birthday!

A very Happy Birthday to you, Sandie, from me. I hope you have a very enjoyable, relaxed one...and may the happiness continue every day thereafter! :)

My late older brother's birthday was 28th February.

Again...all the very best to you. Take good care. You've still got a few years to catch up to me, young lady!! :)

A positive attitude makes all the difference. Wishing you a very happy birthday.
My favorite Pooh character has always been Tigger.

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day! Keeping positive is the best thing we can do. That's why I try to always look on the bright side. Every day may not be a good one, but there is something good to be found in each day!

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday....Just do like me...I tell my family that this year I will be celebrating my 56th birthday! They just let me celebrate what ever year I want to celebrate!! LOL. I always tell them, "you are as old as you feel and this year I feel 56." Think positive, be positive, and enjoy every minute of your day on the 27th...OR...you can start celebrating days ahead. We have earned as many days as we want to celebrate! Seriously, I hope your day is filled with sweet Blessings and much laughter.

Happy Birthday, Sandie! I’m almost a year behind you. My birthday is Sunday (March 2) and I will be 71. I always look forward to tacking on that extra year - like a badge of honor because as it is said many never reach old age.
It’s nice to live life in the positive. Our Heavenly Father wouldn’t want it any other way!

Love all of the sweet cartoons. They really say a lot.
My favorite character is Eeyore too. Definitely trying to look for the sunshine every day.

Oops I forgot to say Happy Birthday on Thursday. You're just a sweet young thing compared to me. My 80's have been more traumatic for me. Stuff just changes !!

I hope you enjoy every moment of your birthday!!! You're memes here today were all wonderful, too. For some reason, I've always liked Piglet. Blessings!

Happy Birthday to my special friend! I love that vintage girl. And I also LOVE the quote "it's all about which way you look." I've seen that one before, so it was so nice to see it again. You might be 72, but your heart is young.....and full of goodness. My favorite Pooh character is probably Pooh. The seashell quote really got to me, and is so true. By the way, those red roses in water are pretty. I hope you have a wonderful time on your birthday on Thursday.

love you, Sandie.
